Turbulent Times Chapter 1486: Battle of Infantry

In infantry battles, the formation is the most important. Whoever loses the battle formation first in the fighting process will basically lose. In recent years, Li Mi has paid great attention to inquiring about the intelligence of the Far Eastern Army, so the generals under the Wagang Army know that the Far Eastern Army's infantry battle formation is powerful, so Wang Xuan wanted to take advantage of the steep slope, and they rushed from top to bottom, thinking Disrupt and defeat the formation of the Far East Army.

As for Li Xuanba's performance at this time, he just followed what he had learned as a training soldier on Snake Island, leading 10,000 people to form an infantry formation, and honestly pushed and killed them.

Both sides had no intention of clearing up their positions, and both wanted to crush the other side first. The two armies, billowing in smoke, fired bows and crossbows at each other as soon as they came into contact.

The Far Eastern Army fired nine bursts of fast crossbows, and the armor on their bodies was light steel armor.

The Wagang army had ordinary bows and arrows in their hands, and only a small half of them had iron armor on their bodies, most of them were leather armor.

So, in the first round of bow and crossbow shooting, only four people from the Far Eastern Army were injured by the arrows, while more than a hundred people from the Wagang Army died.

Such a large proportion of casualties undoubtedly poured a basin of ice water on the heads of everyone in the Wagang Army, including the extremely brave Wang Xuan, all the Wagang soldiers felt a chill in their hearts.

In particular, the Wagang soldiers discovered that during the confrontation just now, even if the arrow hit them, none of the Far Eastern Army frowned or subconsciously dodged, and the pace and orderliness of the entire battle formation were not affected in the slightest.

On the other hand, when the Far Eastern Army's crossbow arrows came like rain, let alone how many people were hit by the arrows, they all habitually dodged.

Wang Xuan suddenly realized that they didn't seem to know enough about the Far Eastern Army. Looking at the burly and indifferent faces of the Far Eastern Army, he suddenly felt a strong uneasiness in his heart.

But at this time, the arrow is on the string, and they have no way out except to continue to bite the bullet and kill them.

Therefore, both sides continued to attack each other without the slightest pause.

The Violent Bear Camp is controlled by a special bugle. At this time, when the bugle sounded, the Ten Thousand Violent Bear Camp immediately had densely packed spears erected, almost covering the background of the north, and the sound of the drums was urgent.

It sounded, and then it became a step point. Ten thousand people lined up in ten square formations and moved forward at the same time, like a forest of moving spears.

On the right wing of each phalanx was a captain and the flag of the captain, and on the left was the deputy captain. They walked back and forth, reminding the regiment leader and centurion in the queue to pay attention to a certain formation.

Because of the confrontation between the two sides just now, the Wagang Army's infantry formation was very long at this time, with nearly 30 rows in front and back. Amidst the sound of the big drum behind, he approached firmly with a look of hatred on his face.

The Far Eastern Army phalanx puts the spear on the right side, holds the right hand at the bottom, and holds the left hand on the body of the gun. It moves slowly with the drumbeat. lay flat.

The iron armor of the Far Eastern Army shines, and all infantry are issued with iron armor and low-brow helmets. On the other hand, the Wagang Army has less than one-tenth of the iron armor.

The two sides approached quickly, and the Far Eastern Army sounded another bugle. All the infantry phalanxes shouted "Kill" and stopped, and each captain gave an order, and every soldier of the Far Eastern Army touched their spears to the ground. on the shoulders.

They only walked a short hundred steps, and they were more of a confrontational gesture to improve the morale of the soldiers. The fast crossbow always kills them continuously.

Every volley of the Far East Army can make gaps in the Wagang Army's front line, but soon the Wagang Army behind them fills up, and the front line still advances firmly.

"These Wagang thieves are men who are not afraid of death." Li Xuanba muttered.

The Far East Army's rapid crossbows fired continuously in batches, and the speed gradually increased. Obviously, the people in the Far East Army also understood that the Wagang soldiers would approach quickly, and there was not much time for them to fire.

The closer the distance, the more people were killed by the rapid crossbow shots, but the gaps made were quickly filled up, and the corpses on the ground were quickly covered by the human wall.

Facing the Wagang Army's indomitable and fearless momentum, it would be affected to some extent if it were replaced by other armies, but it would not affect the Far East Army, especially the Stormy Bear Camp.

Compared to the cavalry charge, the infantry front is spread out, the contact area is large, and there is no any

Trying tricks, the outcome will be decided in a very short time.

………

………

The infantry of the Wagang Army has entered 150 steps. They have been hit by five rounds of fast crossbows. The two sides have not yet engaged in hand-to-hand combat. , otherwise the Wagang Army will suffer even more losses.

Of course, the Wagang Army never stopped throwing light arrows during this process, but the soldiers of the Far Eastern Army in light steel armor lowered their heads slightly, covered their faces with the eaves of their helmets with low eyebrows, and the light arrows thrown from a distance fell to the ground. In the queue, there was a clanging sound. Occasionally, a sharp arrow in the Wagang Army could shoot directly into the neck and other joints, causing a muffled sound. Otherwise, for steel armor, the light arrow thrown Almost like scratching an itch.

At this time, the distance between the two sides is only more than forty steps, but in order not to mess up the confrontation, the speed of both sides has been consciously slowed down. shot, but only had time to shoot one round each.

Li Xuanba suddenly retreated to the back of the battle formation, where thousands of people did not dismount, watching the horses while guarding the rear of the infantry phalanx.

The orderly next to Li Xuanba blew his horn, turned his head to the drummer and said: "Normal pace, blow the forward horn."

As soon as the marching horn sounded, the soldiers in the middle battle formation of the Violent Bear Battalion quickly hung the crossbow on their waists, raised their spears in both hands, and stood on the right side. The roar of the Wagang army's footsteps on the opposite side can be clearly heard.

Wagang Army is afraid of fast crossbows, but within 30 steps, the infantry of the Far Eastern Army is also worried about the short-range shooting of the Wagang Army's infantry, because the infantry at this distance can already have a strong impact on the Far Eastern Army wearing steel armor Killing, within this distance, both sides hope to enter the critical close combat as soon as possible.

The disparity between casualties and casualties finally made those Wagang soldiers a little panicked, but they had already approached thirty steps, and began to switch to heavy arrows, and continued to advance fiercely, holding armor-piercing cones and bows in their hands, rushing to Twenty paces away.

The middle battle formation of the Far Eastern Army has put away the crossbows and held the iron guns tightly, but the long square line is rolling forward. No matter how close the distance is, there are always a thousand soldiers of the Far Eastern Army on each wing A salvo to the Wagang Army.
